I have a column containing items like A,B,C,D.
I would like to create a calculated column evaluating the following question: If the row of this column is equal to "A" then return 100%, If the row of this column is equal to "B" then return 85% ,
the row of this column is equal to "C" then return 65%, the row of this column is equal to "D" then return 50%. is it possible to do that ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Column =
SWITCH(
'Table'[Item Column],
"A", 1,
"B", 0.85,
"C", 0.65,
"D", 0.5
)
And then, format this column as percentage
THANKS So much !
Now is there any way for me to assign these values to specific texts, if I have a character set and want to filter a part of the text of the line does it also work?
